🌍 Myth 5: African stories are too local to travel.
Truth: The more authentic the story, the more universal it becomes. Global audiences connect through emotion, not geography. NOTE: Keep characters authentic even in their language (no fake American accents)

🚀 Myth 4: Once a film is online, the job’s done.
Truth: Release is just the beginning. Marketing, engagement & re-releases keep your film profitable long after launch.

💼 Myth 3: There’s no money in African film distribution.
Truth: There is — with proper rights management & multi-platform strategy. It’s about structuring deals smartly, not just widely. NOTE: it is a long game - not immediate returns. (Keep this in mind when speaking with your investors).

📺 Myth 2: Distribution = Netflix.
Truth: Real distribution goes beyond one platform. Think Tubi (AVOD), TV syndication, inflight deals, educational platforms, festivals & diaspora screenings.

💰 Myth 1: African films can’t make money outside Africa.
Truth: They can — if they’re positioned right. From The Black Book (Nigeria) to Vuta N’Kuvute (Tanzania), global audiences love authentic African stories.
